Help
Hi..
I have 2 hard drives in my system and I assigned the pagefile to my second hard drive. When I ran Perfect Disk it reported that the pagefile.sys in my first hard drive is still there and is very fragmented. How can I remove it from my system? Any suggestion? TIA. ;(

Hi Prum555,
You should just be able to delete the sucker. If for some reason windows has protected the file just reboot on a floppy disk and delete it from dos. If you don't have a bootable floppy then I suggest you go to www.BootDisk.com. Also what the heck is Perfect Disk? Who makes it? Super-Glue Inc.? (only kidding
for all I know it's a core util of Windows 2003 Server )
Cheers,
Christian

Thanks for your suggestion. Forgot to mention that I use NTFS and DOS bootdisk won't work with NTFS. BTW, I used Norton's Cleansweep to locate the file and removed it.
BTW, Perfect Disk is a very good utilities that is an altermative to Executive's Diskeeper....
Thx.

Hi Prum,
Actually there are NTFS supporting Boot Floppies however the only freeware solution I'm aware of at this time is read-only and you have to pay for Write access
. Well I'm glad you got it removed.
Happy 4oJ,

from the folks at sysinternals you can get a free program that defrags all your system files at boot time its called page defrag
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pagedefrag.shtml
no need to delete it, just set its size to whatever you wantin the w2k disk admin msc, and then reboot. this util will defrag you page file (and registry!) and you are set.
